Front Panel Configuration Port
The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel
E
on page 9). It
connects to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer.
To connect the SMD 101 to a host computer:
NOTE:
If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer,
prior to connecting the SMD 101 config (USB) port for the first time, you must install
and activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install DataViewer (see
on page 146) or obtain the driver from the SMD 101 product page at
1.
After the USB driver is loaded, connect a USB A to mini B cable between the Config
port on the SMD 101 front panel and a USB port of the PC.
2.
If this is the first time an Extron product is connected to the PC, the
Found

Hardware
Wizard
dialog opens (see figure 101). The first screen offers to connect to
Windows Update to search the internet for the appropriate driver. This is not necessary
if the USB driver is already on your PC (see the
NOTE
above).
